Just make sure skin is not wet. I have a chronic back issue that causes a lot of pain and I have tried all the pills this is the best medicine out there that you could take for pain, it doesn't give you the up and downs like short acting meds give you, just don't overlap the patches, they last up to 72 hours but it does seem after the 48 hour mark the patch gets weaker . When you put a new patch on take the other one off around 6 hours later, seeming that's how long it takes the patch to come into affect. Hide Full Comment

Comment: I had a problem with the patch staying on but I soon became adept with the application. Also, the dosage had to be adjusted. It soon became smooth sailing and very effective. My quality of life was greatly improved.
